Not the Najib addendum. Some aspects of the theory of stupidity -applied. Part 2/2. Tales by an unknown blogger no 43

22. Didn't his proclivity to due process and technicalities resulted in Najib jumping the que and getting his application for pardon heard first? The other convicts have been waiting in line for probably years .

23. Technicalities of the law are important but more important is securing justice. Wasn't it lord Denning who said that my brother judges are interested in the (technicalities) of the law. I am more interested in justice.

24. Justice for Najib can never be greater than justice for the people. The people want to see Najib gets his due comeuppance.

25. And proper justice must bee seen to done to Najib. Not hidden in the legal jungle. Wasn't it lord hewart who said that justice must be done but undoubtedly and manifestly be seen to be done?

26. The decision to allow Najib jump que and have his application for pardon heard by the ftpb is idiotic. The gains he obtains are very much less that the losses he suffers. Where the losses are>the gains, that is a Cipolla type of stupidity.

27. Next we move on to another silly and stupid suggestion. The suggestion that Najib be given house arrest. To be secured through an instrument. Let us call it an addendum, for brevity sake.iff a document does exist. Notice iff is an economist if it means if and only if. It means highly improbable.

28. Both the 2 suggestions are unforeseeable. They are unsangkarable. But both suggestions show laws 1 and 2 of Cipolla's law of stupidity at work.

29. The 1st law of 5 says that we can never underestimate stupidity . It means the number of people who behave stupidly, we can never underestimate. There are many than we can imagine..in a group it can come from anyone , any place, anywhere. It's unpredictable. In this case, the stupid suggestion comes from the pm.

30. The 2nd law says stupidity is independent of a person's social status, position, education, experience and so on. Anyone is susceptible.

31. The post of pm, his education, his life experience cannnot prevent him from acting stupidly.

32. The 2nd suggestion about house arrest is problematical to us. If the king acts upon advice by the 5 other members of the ftpb, then they are dumbasses. If the don't, then they are free from blame.

33. This brings us to the next question. Who talks to them? The most probable answer is, it's the pm who speaks to them.

34. We assume then, it's the pm who gives the 2 suggestions without much thought about them. He just wants them to be carried out. No rational reasons necessary. His bourgeois sense of justice prompts him to do it. Without regard to the broader sense of justice.

35. The suggestions, especially the 2nd is vexatious. Without any rational reasons designed to just annoy us

36. The 2nd suggestion in particular , flies in the face of facts opposing it. First, criminal offences are not amenable for house arrest. Civil law offenders maybe. 2nd, house arrest for crimes is not in the constitution.

37. If it's not provided for in the constitution, a bill enabling it must first be tabled in parliament. To be vigorously debated .

38. If it's debated , then we expect the DAP to provide a robust opposition to it .

39. There you are, I have written an article about the stupid behavior of some people as regards the purported Najib addendum. I did not write about the purported addendum at all . To wit, the behavior of certain people in the context of bonhoeffer and cipolla theory of stupidity.
